MyData TP9s Work well in high mix applications because change over time from 1 job to the next can be done in as little as 15 minutes if you have the right mix of magazines/feeders. Component placement rates vary depending on which component you ar

Let me add to the Mydata thing.. TP9-2U=..... TP9UFP=Good MY9=Best TP9 UFPs will place 0402's fine as long as you have black tools and run them across the camera. This method is slow but it works.

We are high mix low volume company and we use a MYDATA TP9. Very good machine that can place 0402's effectively. Issues we've had include: Maintenance - It is an older machine so, it has needed a little more than I care for. Cost of Feeders and Maga
